to this edition In working with my own clients to acquire gemstones and jewelry since this book was first published in 1984, they have pointed out that most people buy jewelry and not gemstones. Because the book offers so much practical advice and moneysaving tips about buying jewelry, they urged me to change the title. So, in this edition The Complete Guide to Buying Gems has been changed to Jewelry & Gems: The Buying Guide. Consumer and professional response to the book has been very gratifying. Almost 14,000 hardcover copies are in circulation. We have received hundreds of letters, phone calls and inperson comments about the helpfulness and interesting information it provides. We thank you for encouraging us to make the book more widely available by bringing out this softcover edition. We have taken the opportunity of this softcover edition to update the price guides for diamonds and colored gemstones and, in light of the increase in both the popularity and price of pearls, to add a price guide for them in the Guide to Popular Gems and Their Prices. Also, we want to take this opportunity to comment further on gem invest ment, taking into account major developments since the original manuscript was written in 1980.

This guide is a decent introduction for beginners, but I found it lacking in some advanced topics. The paperback format is nice, though. Perfect for someone just starting to explore jewelry and gems.

As someone who frequently buys jewelry, this guide is super helpful! It covers everything from what to look for in gemstones to tips on maintenance. I love the paperback format; it’s easy to flip through while shopping.

Disappointed with the Condition
I was excited to receive this guide, but it arrived with some pages crinkled and the cover slightly bent. The content looks good for learning about gems, but the condition was disappointing. Would consider a different seller next time.

Great Gift for Beginners
Gave this to my sister as a birthday gift since she's gotten into jewelry making. She really enjoyed it and found the tips useful. The only downside was the shipping took a bit longer than expected, but it's well worth the wait!

A Must-Have for Gem Enthusiasts
I bought this buying guide for my wife who loves jewelry and gemstones. It's packed with detailed information and beautiful images that truly help you understand what to look for when buying gems. A great addition to our collection!
